Our Background

 Before the Internet Some people grew up around computers - we grew up in them. Literally. OK, not literally but as close as it gets. Way before the internet was even around, we were building machines, "surfing" on bulletin board systems, collaborating with other geeks like us and even building software - for fun and for profit! This is not something we do to make a quick buck - we build solutions & relationships and we truly love every minute of it!
Our staff has an extensive background in developing enterprise-level applications for a diverse array of industries.

Our Passion

 Finding Solutions Our passion revolves around finding solutions to not only the problems you're having today, but the problems you may have 2 years from now. In fact, it's not all about problems when you're trying to leverage the internet to do business - it's about opportunities! We pride ourselves on our creativity (heck, we named the company after it!), our technologies, methodologies and our ability to deliver solutions that exceed expectations.
There's no denying it - we love what we do. When you're this passionate about your work, it doesn't really feel like work at all. Perhaps this is why we take a more fun-focused & engaging approach to the often drab and rigid software development practices that are so prevalent today.
Creativitiy is at the core of what we do - our tag is: "The courage to let go of certainties"; this phrase has been used to define the meaning of creativity. It doesn't mean we abandon all logic or we don't learn from the past and re-use as much as possible...it just means we're able to look past the "problem" with a fresh perspective. This approach yields exciting and innovative results that we think will blow your socks off.
While we're on the subject of passion, here's a few quotes from a man with similar ideals that we like to refer to when we're feeling "lost in the details":
"I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success."
"I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun."
"Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something."
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
"To have a great idea, have a lot of them."
"There's a way to do it better - find it." - Thomas A. Edison

 The Bottom Line We know, all this talk about creativity and innovation may leave you wondering, "Having new ideas is great and all, but what about making money?"
We're actually really good at finding opportunities for revenue streams you didn't even know you had - this is where we set ourselves apart from your traditional development shop. We are, after all, a consulting company, so our relationship with you is all about helping you grow your business. Our pricing is very affordable, so you don't have to spend a lot of money to start making it. We're also very open to "sharing solutions" - that is, we get transaction fees and in return, your up front costs are greatly reduced. After all, we consider ourselves more of a partner to our customers than a contractor; building revenue streams like this allows us to align our goals with our clients, as we have a vested interest in their solutions bringing in the maximum revenue. That being said, we're fine building products for you and supporting them - and your business - regardless of how the agreements may be set up.
The bottom line is this: You think there's money to be made, but you need an IT partner that can help make it happen today - and tommorow. This is where Creativa Consulting comes in!
